I was wondering if anything like this exists in linux preferably mandriva
I found this link in one thread http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/46621
but as far as I understand the text after brief reading it refers only to creating multiple-choice questions but Im a language teacher so for me some other forms of questions/testing are necessary [ie some specific input and/or translation etc]
Id really appreciate it if sb could provide me with some suggestions
I wonder if you mentioned "Creating interactive forms with OOo Writer" open office org writer.
You'll get a better response.
There are just so many soft-wares available for GNU/Linux.
Which leaves your question rather ambiguous.
Im sorry but I dont understand why U claim this question is ambiguous -- I need soft/application which will enable me to create tests [as easily as possible] which in turn will be completed by students on-screen instead of on-paper
I dont want to reduce this question to openoffice writer cos maybe there is another app/soft which covers a bigger variety of test types plus it does the job in an easier way and/or faster
From the website: "EasyTestMaker is a FREE online test generator to help you create your tests. With Easy Test Maker you can create multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, matching, short answer and true and false questions all on the same test. You can also insert instructions and divide your test into multiple sections."
well initially I thought it was but when I started using the application it turned out that easytestmaker just helps U create the test and print it -- Im lookin for app/soft which will enable students to actually do the test on-screen [in a sort of interactive way ie they choose or highlight sth etc] without the necessity of printing anything...
You might try Scribus. Perhaps that will suit your needs.
It has a steep learning curve, but is well worth the effort.
From the documentaion page: "Create interactive PDF forms and presentation documents. What is interactive PDF? Interactive PDFs have special features like hyperlinks, annotations (non-printing notes), bookmarks – a kind of an automatically created index for your PDF, as well as special navigation features – just like a web browser."
TCExam is Web-based assessment software for generating and managing online tests and exams. It simplifies the exam cycle, including generation, execution, evaluation, presentation, and archiving.
